Advaitic pearls of Sage, Sri, Sankara leads Advaitic Awareness. Without Sage, Sri, Sankara there is no Advaita (non-duality). Since it was mixed up with orthodoxy there is a lot of confusions.

Without realizing ‘what is the mind? What is the substance of the mind? And what is the source of the mind?, it is not possible to realize the Advaitic truth, which is beyond the form, time and space. You are not the witness how can you witness without the attachment.

Therefore, the word Brahma in the clearly stands for the essence of the three states, which is consciousness only. The final use of pursuit of truth is to know that self is consciousness.
